Hello to all! I'm new to this forum and really glad to say "Hello". There is a question to all of you who could provide me an answer. I have my own Polo 9n 2004 3door with originally AWY engine. I know that previous owner swapped the AWY engine to BBM. I can see in the tec docs that BBM is almost the same as AWY but has +6 more horsepowers. I'm not sure if the previous owner changed the VDO's firmware from AWY to BBM type (neither I know if this firmwares are different or no). My thoughts are: if there is a difference in HP between AWY and BBM, so that they could probably are driven by different VDO firmware. If my VDO "thinks" that that there is still AWY installed, so there is a probable constant lack of smth (air, gas) so that I have my week engine to be even underpowered now. I would be glad for your comments. BR Ivan

Hi all, I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this. I have a question about instrument clusters. Currently I have a Polo classic project car which has this kind of instrument cluster in it: As I'm aware, VW Polo Classic's came with this kind of instrument cluster all the way to the facelifted version which got this kind of cluster: But looking at the Polo mk3 (6N), they got an in-between cluster which looks like this: It looks similar to the Golf mk4 cluster. What I'm looking to do is to swap this last cluster for my current cluster which looks like the first one. The thing that bothers me the most is, is it going to fit ? As I'm looking at the VW Polo 6N dashboard and Polo Classic dashboard, they look the same. The cluster plastic cover that goes around the cluster looks to be the same in both versions. Only thing that looks different is the cluster mounting. In the last photo, cluster is mounted using the brackets at the top of the cluster, in my car there are brackets to the side of the cluster. Does anybody know if this is possible, Is there something that I would need to change to install this type of cluster (not asking for wiring) ?

Polo 6N1 AEF (1.9D) Swap to Golf Mk1 (1.6D)
CasH1337 posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
Short question: will a Polo 6N1 AEF (1.9D) fit in a Golf Mk1 diesel? Long: I've done some research and in the Polo the engine is tilted forward, so a taller 1.9TDI AHU or 1.6D will need many mods to fit in a Polo. But the opposite, fitting the AEF in a Mk1 Golf, would that encounter any difficulties? I've found; - the turbo'd version of the AEF (AAZ) is a drop in replacement (same engine mounts as 1.6D) - a swap to a T3 camper with 1.6CS has been done (https://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/1-6cs-to-aef-engine-swap_topic52595.html) and looks fairly simple (only oil stick needs mod) So from what I see it will be an easy swap, or am I missing something? Fyi; I'll re-use the 1.6D 020 gearbox 190mm clutch plate (might upgrade it to 200mm, 210mm, only looking to make decent power 80-100hp) Thanks! -
swap Polo 9N swap from 1.2 to a 1.4 from a 6C
slimBHB posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
i'd like to know if it's possible to swap a polo 9N from 1.2 to a 1.4 from a 6C I'm not looking for power just for reliability and also 1.4 parts are lot common -
Hello guys, I'm new to the forum and wanted to ask a couple of questions. What I'm planning to do is to swap the dashboard from the 6n2 facelifted model to the 6N. Before I do anything I want to hear other people's experiences, from people who have done it or know how to do it. First of all my polo is not a 6N, rather it is a 6KV. It is a polo classic. Second, it is a diesel version with an SDI engine in it. Third is, it has an AC in it so I assume that complicates things a little bit. I researched a bit and found a couple of forum posts about this, and few people have done it but as I saw none of them did that to a diesel. My first question is, does it matter if I take the dashboard and interior dashboard loom from a gasoline car, will it fit my car? The second question is, does it matter if I take a tachometer from a gasoline 6n2 car and put it into my diesel? Do I need to rewire some wires for everything to work or gasoline and diesel tachometers are completely different internally? I read that I need tachometers from the 1998 year or so with white background. Fortunately, in my country those are really easy to find but only for petrol models, I don't think I will be able to find any of those for diesel models. Also, my tacho connector is white, it is not blue, does that makes things more difficult ? Because my car has AC I would like to keep that functionality. My question is, do 6n2 and 6n share the same firewall hole for AC pipes? I know I need to buy the whole ventilation duct from the 6n2 but will my AC fit inside it and be compatible with the hole in the firewall? As for the wiring, I know there are a lot of things to be rewired but I have all the tools for soldering, splicing, and other things required for the wiring and I'm pretty comfortable doing it so there wouldn't be a problem with that. This is how my dashboard looks in my polo. It has the same tachometer and has power windows also (picture from the Internet) This is the dashboard I want to put in:

Hi did a quick search on here and the Internet but can't find any info on if the 1.4 16v valve engine AUA would fit in my 1996 6n1 and how easy it would be?. Thanks
